What will 2014 Bring for Publishers and Authors?

Joe Konrath makes his predictions for the publishing business in 2014. He makes many viable points about the growing indie market, though I disagree that Barnes and Noble is finished, and I detailed in a post earlier this year on how they can succeed. Have they taken up my suggestions? Not yet, but it will be interesting to see how they fared over the past few weeks with amped up advertising and as the prime bookstore chain going into the end-of-year Retail Armageddon.
